GHG Emission Analysis for Key Industrial Sectors under Decision 13/2024/QD-TTg
Tender code: 83490374
1. Background
As a federally owned enterprise, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. On behalf of the German Government, GIZ provides advisory services to the Vietnamese Government in four priority areas: (1) Vocational training, (2) Environmental, (3) Energy, and (4) Sustainable Economic Development. For further information, please visit www.giz.de/viet-nam.
Through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) GIZ has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) with the implementation of the “Support to Vietnam for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement II” project (short: “SIPA II”) for a 5-year period from 2024 to 2029. The IKI is implemented by the BMWK in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection and the Federal Foreign Office.
The lead executing agency on the Vietnamese side is the Vietnamese side is the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE). The project aims to support Viet Nam’s development pathway and its consistency with a just net-zero transition in line with the Paris Agreement, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.
To operationalise Viet Nam’s commitments under COP26 and prepare for a domestic carbon market, the Government has issued a series of guiding documents, including Decree No. 06/2022/ND-CP on GHG emissions mitigation and carbon market development. A revised version of this Decree is underway to provide detailed regulations for the Emissions Trading System (ETS), starting with three high-emitting sectors: power generation, cement (clinker), and steel (crude steel). These sectors—identified in Decision 13/2024/QD-TTg—account for approximately 70% of total GHG emissions from over 2,000 facilities nationwide. A critical next step for ETS readiness is the allocation of emission allowances to these compliance facilities.
This assignment aims to support that process by conducting a 2024 GHG emissions inventory for key industrial sectors—specifically crude steel manufacturing, coal and gas-fired power generation, and clinker-producing cement facilities—as listed in Decision 13/2024/QD-TTg. Covering at least 135 facilities (52 steel, 26 power, and 57 cement), the results will provide decision-makers with a comprehensive emissions profile of major emitters and inform the development of an effective emission allowance allocation approach for the ETS.
The GIZ Office Hanoi as the contracting party, on behalf of the SIPA II project, is conducting a local negotiated tender to look for qualified Local Consulting Firm (LCF) to implement the assignment.
Tentative duration: from 26 August 2025 until 31 December 2025
Place of assignment: in Vietnam
